Waiting For Love
Avicii feat. John Legend Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where there's a will, there's a way, kind of beautiful
And every night has its day, so magical
And if there's love in this life, there's no obstacle
That can't be defeated

For every tyrant a tear for the vulnerable
In every lost soul the bones of a miracle
For every dreamer a dream we're unstoppable
With something to believe in

Monday left me broken
Tuesday I was through with hoping
Wednesday my empty arms were open
Thursday waiting for love, waiting for love
Thank the stars it's Friday
I'm burning like a fire gone wild on Saturday
Guess I won't be coming to church on Sunday
I'll be waiting for love, waiting for love
To come around

We are one of a kind, irreplaceable
How did I get so blind and so cynical?
If there's love in this life we're unstoppable
No we can't be defeated

Monday left me broken
Tuesday I was through with hoping
Wednesday my empty arms were open
Thursday waiting for love, waiting for love
Thank the stars it's Friday
I'm burning like a fire gone wild on Saturday
Guess I won't be coming to church on Sunday




I'll be waiting for love, waiting for love
To come around

The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea of waiting for love and the resilience required to persist in the face of disappointment, betrayal, or loss. The repeated line, "Monday left me broken / Tuesday I was through with hoping / Wednesday my empty arms were open / Thursday waiting for love, waiting for love," underscores the frustration and pain of waiting for a relationship or connection with someone, while still maintaining hope that love will eventually come.
